To round off our first year as PhiGS, a day of talks by our Post-Graduates. The only theme we have is that the talks must be communicated at a level that can be understood by non-specialists. This should hopefully foster good discussion between an audience composed of people from a variety of fields within philosophy, as well as from disciplines outside of philosophy. We will round off the day with a talk by philosophy department lecturer Dr. Michael Wilde. The colloquium is open to all students and staff, and lunch and refreshments will be provided.
